Tim Gunn Bans Snooki and Teen Mom

And now for further proof that Tim Gunn is a true genius and can do no wrong, like I ever had any doubts, he has officially refused to work with the likes of Snooki and MTV reality TV star Amber Portwood of Teen Mom. "We're not dressing Snooki, we're not doing any of that stuff," he told StyleList about the upcoming season of Project Runway at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Despite the show's regular use of guest celebrities, who in the past have included Nicole Ritchie, Victoria Beckham, and Sarah Jessica Parker, Gunn said that he would refuse to make it work with both of the reality TV show stars.

"I will throw down the gauntlet," he said defiantly. "I do nothing that mitigates bad behaviour, I want an end to it."

For those of you who, like me, are sick of the fist-pumping, the boozing, the chest baring, and the underage pregnancies and drama, Gunn's comment brings a sigh of relief. They are everywhere it seems, do they really have to infiltrate the fashion world as well? For now the answer appears to be a resounding "no" and thank goodness... as far as I'm concerned Jersey Shore fashion should be left on the Jersey Shore.

Bejewelled Ed Hardy and leopard mini dresses? No thank-you!
